I am not knowledgeable in the ways of medical procedures and thus was a big big help. It provided comfort atva difficult time. Thank you!
You're very welcome :-)
Keep up the strong work 👍☢
If you wear a Dexcom meter for your diabetic reading take it off. Also get a
geiger counter to read the high levels of raditation. I got sick diarrhea throw up etc.
Once again nicely accomplished
Thanks from iraqi radiologist 🌹

i'm a big overweight guy am i going to be ok doing this? feel like doctor would know if i wouldnt be but yeah
@@kilbluff1985 That won't be a problem. We'll see more fat on the picture, but besides that, there won't be a difference. It won't affect the results. Hope this helps.
@@dr.paulinemoyaert yeah thanks i guess they know big people are often the ones with bone issues lol was more kind concerned about fitting in the scanner
Dr my Dr prescribed bone scan NAF
I have psoriasis history. Almost controlled now. ankylosing spondylitis, over time, the inflammation in the joints and tissues of the spine caused stiffness. , this caused the vertebrae (bones in the spine) upper just below hr next to fuse (grow together). For this and and also other aspects Dr suggested for pet ct bone NAF .is this required (my age 50) please suggest thank you Laks
@@laks2779 I'm sorry, I'm not your doctor. I can't give any medical advice.
what about if you got a pacemaker?????
This is something you should discuss with your doctor, but it's not a contra-indication.
yea no one tells you anything I had a dexcom and I took it off the night before check with your Doc first
Hi , I’m a mom of two little kids, can I contact with my kids after test ?
Yes :-) (Maybe don't cuddle them within the first 8-10 hours after the test)
@@dr.paulinemoyaert thank you 😊
